"Rules do not exist to bind you, they exist so you may know your freedoms"
Be careful of what you say, tomorrow or today, for the words you now speak, may become the poison your enemies later seek; truth.

You can't kickstart an MMO. The expenses are insane compared to single player games and this promises all this fancy "next gen" shit and so on. No, it won't happen. Even if it gets funded the project will either be halted before anyone even gets their hands on some real gameplay or will end up being watered down bullshit we normally get from asian country developers.

It's a fantasy and will stay a fantasy unless somebody decides to invest dozens of millions of dollars in it.

They are clearly stating in the video, that they're raising the money on kickstarter to proof to potential funders/publishers that this kind of game needs to be made. Their idea isn't creating an MMO with 2 million dollars.

My thoughts exactly. They would create advanced video-tutorials to give players the option of building something while EQNL gives you amazing tools to easily constuct anything you want from the get-go. In the video they really should have focused on player-based content building (quests, storyline-expansions and things like that), because, after throwing money at EQNL I don't really feel convinced enough about doing the same here, as it just appears to be another EQNL-experience.

That being said, I do like the idea of gathering all players with different interests in one, big game. I've seen some amazing minecraft constructions, that I'd love to see implemented in an (MMO)RPG game.

For now - with this video, it just looks like an EQ:Next-clone (also implementing buildings from players from EQNL) with a different graphical approach and harder-to-learn creation tools. I'm really interested in how quest-/storyline-building and NPC-creation would be handled. I do see a lot of potential there. Convince me with that and I will gladly support the project.

I don't understand how almost everyone in this forum keeps complaining about the same-old-experience with MMOs nowadays, while bashing on new, refreshing ideas with a lot of potential.

Yeah, I get that. But there is no definite proof that even if they get funded, money will be thrown at them. They think they can attract investors but there is no guarantee to it. It doesn't help that they have no background either. This whole project is full of "what if" 's.

This is like every single kid in kindergarden comes out and says that they will be the next president of United States of America, now stop what you are doing and get to work getting this kid in presidential seat...yeah, not gonna happen.

Also, their "AAA" people they have "revealed" don't seem that convincing either.
